It seems, er, odd, that it's not safe to send your pretender with the Ark. Granted he's neither sacred nor a priest, but in this case it would seem appropriate to make an exception, no?

Now that explains why Jehovah wanted to get rid of the Ark of the Covenant and gave it to the Jews!

I think the Nerid (shouldn't that be Nereid, BTW?) has the 'male' flag. I've seen her given titles like 'He who is ...' or 'Prince of ...' or 'King of ...' at pretender generation, and don't remember seeing the female variants of these titles.

I'm tempted to say this might be indicative of problems with the titles, and not the Nereid. I recently had a pretender (um... Great Enchantress?) with both "He who..."- and "She who"-type titles. Admittedly, (s)he had but one masculine title, so I suppose she wasn't that butch. And this was in the demo, too, so perhaps it's no longer indicative of anything...

Some divine titles have slipped past the gendering of the pantheon. Report such titles if you come across it again.

[E. Albright]

An hour of trying to come across it again came up with the following titles inappropriately being applied to godesses:

Lord of Flies
He Who is at the Center
God of Invincible Power

I didn't try to find titles being wrongly slapped onto gods.

Oh, and I also ran into another troubling thing with titles. I was testing this stuff in the demo, but it's not listed as having been fixed in a 2.02+ patch, nor could I find it mentioned on the forum, so it seems worth mentioning. I occasionally would generate a diety with no titles, or rather ", " as a title. This happened with a number of different pretenders, both with computer-generated names and given ones. I noted the stats each time this occured. Each pretender configuration for which it occured is listed in "name(s); type; magic; scales; theme" format. Anything unlisted would be unchanged from the pretender's default.

• "Lamashtu, " -> Naga; N6; Ord3, Prod3, Cold3, Dea3, Luck3, Mag3; Heart of Winter
• "Stine, ", "Volde, " -> Great Enchantress; E10, As1
• "Latena, ", "a, " -> Great Enchantress; As10
• "Triala, " -> Great Enchantress; E9, As4
• "Ylvethe, " -> Great Enchantress; Tur3, Slo3, Cold3, Dea3, Mis3, Dra3
• "Moriana, " -> Crone; F10, A2
• "Pladina, " -> Crone; E10

A couple of other pretender titles that need their gender changed. They are King of Courage and Lord of the Oceans on a Nerid.

There appears to be a temp scale bug as well.

On turn 7 of MP several of my provs went from +3 heat (I'm machaka) to zero. Growth was zeroed too in some cases. Luck was not affected.

(no Messages/events relating to climate were reported, though there was a harvest festival and a fire gem find)

The domain map is such that this is not merely improbable evolution... clearly there's an overflow/bug somewhere.

Want the turn file?

[mivayan]

an event: "Silver deposits have been found and a new mine is being built. Tax revenues have been permanently increased by 20 pounds of gold."

The site I got however, is an iron mine: +20 resources.

I am playing ashen empire, the province has 240 pop, scales there are (order to luck) -3/-3/-1/-3/2/3.

Apologies if it is has been posted before.

[Taqwus]

A possibly rare bug manifested itself again.

Previous turn:
As Soul Gate, Storm T'ien Chi fortress. Kill Oracle, Ho Hsien-Ku the immortal.

This turn:
I've got a Ho Hsien-Ku the Shadow, with Air 3 and Nature 2. Weird. Other stats seem normal for shadows, e.g. no flying, no ability to heal others (darn! ).

Bug/Feature?

Well... one or the other. It's nothing new.

If a flying unit / party routs in an enemy-surrounded province, it will die retreating just like landbound units do. Conceptually, it seems that a flying unit could retreat to a distant province within flight range, rather than dying simply because all the adjacent provinces are hostile.

This would improve Caelum quite a bit!
